News Pulse for International Women’s Day

Our News Pulse study gives a glimpse of how the world celebrated International Women’s Day in 2017

We ran our News Pulse study on hundreds of more than 500 global news publishers for a period of one week leading up to the international women’s day on 8th March 2017. The most discussed news was an iconic gesture by a wall street fund manager to put a statue of a defiant girl in front of the Wall Street bull. Its a powerful symbol of how humanity views the role of women today in 2017.

From these hundreds of articles, our AI also unearthed some articles with negative sentiment. These articles show how women in different parts of the world still face challenges due to gender discrimination. Although these negative news made up only 5% of the overall articles, we hope a day will come when this number goes down to zero.
